I want the record to express the heightened feelings and emotions we all get in our lives.

Tom Odell

The 22-year-old singer/songwriter said: “I hope the album feels human and real and that there are some fl aws because the flaws help make it what it is. I’d love to live in a time when music felt uncontrived and imperfect and gave people a real sense of elevation.

“When it’s sad I want it to be really sad, when it’s happy I want it to feel euphoric.

“I want the record to express the heightened feelings and emotions we all get in our lives.”
